We know that Not All Men Are Like That too.

Oh, and its not transgender people that are the main issue, as usual. Its abusive controlling narcissistic males who have clung onto the coattails of a genuine cause for dear life, and now appear to be controlling it that are the issue. How anyone cannot see that transactivism as it stands today (not genuine transactivism..but how it is now) is nothing more than a MRA movement, I will never understand.

Mistakes happen, and instantly wanting people punished for them isn't the best way to educate. With the second guy, if he saw her details then it should have been clear so fair enough on that one. Although I'm also tired of this culture of demanding compensation that's going on nowadays.

And a LOT of protestations if it's pointed out; honestly it's the biggest backlash you'll get on this forum. A sensitive issue, clearly, though people are hesitant to admit it, and that says plenty.



Yes I imagine it probably seems so if you immerse yourself in social media / forum melting pots full of confirmation bias and frenzied hysteria.

Isn't it actually more common nowadays for women to be called sir? I'm genuinely curious to see if this will really go anywhere for her considering the terminology that was used does get used for born women nowadays too.

I think because it's probably used in the armed forces, which things like Star Trek copy with their official "officer" characters.

Don't thing women being called "sir" has ever been a social thing.

Yeah that does make sense.

I didn't realise that shows like Star Trek and Galactica had warped my world view so much.:joker:

It's just I'm not comfortable ripping into a group of people that already get a lot of stick as it is, even if I do find it strange it doesn't personally harm me so I probably shouldn't help put the knife in.
